Meridian flip on capture page

I have just been building a new Raspberry Pi INDI set up and I have noticed that the meridian flip no longer appears on the capture page.
This was a useful feature for me as I could change the time of a flip or in fact whether it would actually flipped based on the object I was imaging.
For objects that go overhead this needs to happen but for objects in the far north or south it can be delayed or not required at all.
I am I missing soemthing here?

ouioui01,
Yes, I know it has been moved to the mount control, however, that then becomes a global setting with no way to override it that I have found.
My interest is in optionally overriding the mount setting when imaging individual objects.

As for the location of the meridian flip configuration option, this has been discussed at length on this forum about a year ago and most, if not all, Ekos users agreed that the mount tab would be the logical place for it since having two seemed confusing to most of us. Does your mount support configuring a preferred pier side?

EDIT: you can still change the value on the mount tab at any time and it will immediately be picked up.


HTH, Wouter

Wouter,
I apoligise if it seems like I am going over an old topic.
I am not complaining about the functionality of the meridian flip in any way.
My problem is I optionally want to be able to have a different setting for each object as it used to do and for it to default to the setting on the mount tab if I don't.
